Heart Attack Survival: Immediate Actions You Must Know

If you think you're having a heart attack, the first thing to do is call for help.

Tell them exactly where you are!

If you can, have someone take you to the hospital without waiting for the ambulance.

Taking an aspirin (if you're not allergic) can help your blood flow better.

If your doctor gave you medicine for chest pain, take it as prescribed.

Stay calm and lie down on your left side if you feel dizzy.

Write down your medicines and medical history so the doctors know how to help you.
